A pink ribbon is the universal sign for breast cancer awareness, not Komen. Just like the yellow ribbon is a sign of supporting our troops. So just because people see pink ribbons doesn’t mean they’re all associated with Komen.

Exactly. For example in the article in the link, they mention yogurt companies. Dannon Yogurt used a pink ribbon during their campaign, but they gave their proceeds to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, which is a pro-life foundation.

I get the point of the article, we as Catholics should boycott Koman, but the author did a disservice to the neutral pink ribbon campaign for breast cancer awareness by lumping it in with a company that supports abortion.

👍👍👍

You can support breast cancer research and not Susan Komen. We’re not talking brain surgery here…
 
You also do not need to wear pink to support people healing the sick.
 
I would avoid wearing all kind of ribbons.

Wear a crucifix- it shows you support the sick, the poor, peace, justice, etc.

Anything extra is unnecessary, and possibly a vanity.

This thread has been dormant for a considerable period. With rare exceptions, reviving threads after a protracted period of inactivity is discouraged because:
  • the issues that spurred them are often no longer “hot” or current topics, explaining why thread activity ceased originally.
  • posters originally involved in the discussion are sometimes no longer active on the forum and, therefore, unavailable to reply to comments added to the thread.
Our experience suggests that, when a topic merits revival, it is best accomplished by initiating a new thread that draws on recent events and can be posted to contemporaneously. This eliminates the baggage of folks being frustrated by asking and not receiving responses to issues raised in early posts (because the new poster didn’t notice that the post he was responding to was made a long time ago).

Posters are very welcome to open a new thread on the subject or any other topic, as well as to actively participate in the myriad active threads in the fora.

Thank you to all those who have participated in this discussion. This thread is now closed. **
